So, I got this idea to mess around with tarot cards, not for the spooky stuff, but to see if I could create something fun, like generating some unique combinations. You know, just for kicks.
I started by just shuffling the deck and pulling out cards, one by one. I laid them out on the table, trying to make some sense of what the combinations could mean.
Then I thought, why not make this a bit more organized? I grabbed a notebook and started jotting down each card I pulled and what it traditionally symbolizes. After that, I tried to connect the dots. If I pulled, say, The Fool and The Magician, what could that mean together?
I spent a good few hours doing this, creating little stories or scenarios based on the combinations. It was pretty interesting, actually. Some combos were straightforward, while others made me scratch my head and come up with some really creative interpretations.
Getting Digital
After a while, I thought, “There’s gotta be a better way to do this.” That’s when I decided to create a simple digital tool for generating these combinations randomly. I’m not a programmer or anything, but I know enough to mess around with some basic coding stuff.
I started with a list of all the tarot cards and their meanings. Then, I figured out how to make a program pick out two or three cards at random. The first version was super basic—just text on a screen—but it worked!
I kept improving it. Added some graphics, made it look a bit nicer. Now, with a click of a button, I can generate a random tarot card combination and see it displayed nicely. It’s way easier than shuffling the deck every time.
Sharing My Little Project
I showed it to a few friends, and they thought it was pretty cool. They started using it too, and we had some fun discussions about the combinations that came up.
So, I decided to share it online. I put it up on a simple website, nothing fancy, just a place where people can go and try it out. I explained how it works and what it’s all about—just a fun way to explore tarot card combinations.
- First, I shuffled and drew cards manually, making notes.
- Then, I started creating stories based on the combinations.
- I got the idea to make a digital tool to automate this.
- Developed a simple program to generate random combinations.
- Improved the tool with graphics and a user-friendly interface.
- Shared it with friends and then online for others to use.
It’s been a neat little project. I didn’t expect it to be this much fun, but I’ve learned a lot along the way—about tarot cards, a bit about programming, and how cool it can be to just create something from scratch and see where it goes.
